Y&R May 2024 Discussion Thread

Like everything JG does, he wrote the story totally backwards. May Sweeps would have been the perfect to reveal Jordan and Claire being the ones behind a series of strange happenings and sabotage to the Newmans after months of gaining their trust and ingraining themselves in GC society.

@YRfan23 I know you keep track of episode counts so I did notice Esther appeared briefly in the background at the Crimson Lights register in today 5/28’s scenes with Chelsea and Summer yet had no speaking role…a bit odd. As was Sharon’s 45 second scene with Chelsea.

 

Summer is now giving in to play nice with Claire and Sally…? A shame JG doesn’t seem to want us to see AL Summer’s claws out again.

These three pics were spoiled for 5/28 US episode by SOD and soaphub:

Seems like the Sharon/Esther scene was cut, and instead they had Esther silently behind behind the cash register in the Chelsea/Summer scene.

Also noting that Sharon has a purse in the cut scene with Esther, but no purse in the scene with Chelsea.

Thanks! wow I definitely wouldn't have noticed that....poor KL.... it's too expensive to even  say a few lines, so I guess JG has no choice but to use like  they did all the way back in 1982, when she was just a "no name maid". at least back then it was affordable for her to say: "Yes Mrs. Chancellor." LOL

ah! that explains it even more!  LOL so it's too expensive for SC and KL to even be int he same scene with AL and MCE...

Now that they are no longer taping day for day. I'm sure it is more difficult to edit everything together and some things are dropped due to time restraints.

In typical Y&R fashion, Chelsea seems to be spending the day at CL, moving tables in the process.

Watching the scene where 2 60 plus men wrestle a 70 plus woman while an 80 plus man chloroforms her had me shaking my head.

And then Victor spits out that he will never forgive Michael and Cole and they actually looked concerned. 

To think over 40 years later, Victor is still locking people in cages and feels justified in doing so. Full circle moment and zero character growth in that time.

But Victor is justified. No one seems like they can keep Jordan imprisoned to save their lives, but him at this point. lol.

 

Exactly! They still could had had Lauren trying to be there for Nikki and Oscar as a wedge between Nikki and Victor to find that Jordan manipulated the whole thing. And Claire still could have been obsessing over Victoria and we not know why yet, too. Except SUMMER picked up on something like she's acting now and tries to get an idea...perhaps with Chance's help. And a reveal at some big event...perhaps the C-W separate party which would reveal that, Ashley's alter, and perhaps a romantic beat or something.

 

IKR!!! AL is best when claws out, not in.

Okay onto today’s episode 5/29…

So Jill is sick/having possible heart failure….? Yeesh. I sincerely hope this isn’t JG’s answer to Thudley’s “Eric is dying” story over on B&B last fall. 

Of course knowing JG all of this will probably be held offscreen, unless Hasselhoff is going make a surprise appearance again as Snapper since he was mentioned by name today. JG is terrible at these health illness stories yet keeps telling them. 
 

Ugh I was kind of hoping we’d never seen to Chloe again but honestly Sally is better off having Audra as a pal than an unsuccessful sociopath lol. Good riddance. 

Way to go Diane for finally speaking the truth about how nonsensical it is for Jack to be Nikki’s sponsor especially since Jack still drinks.

5-24

 

Well, I'll say this much...say what you want about the Jordan storyline...but THAT was a Friday cliffhanger!!!  Silly Michael and Cole...Victor knows EVERYTHING. I was not expecting that cuz JOSH GRIFFITH. And on a FRIDAY??? Well done. 

 

I also was not expecting REAL Ashley. And her to be around for a good minute. So good on Tucker for getting through to her and keeping her out. And getting her to the Abbot house. And her friend able to get through to Ashley and explain the DID of it all. And now I am getting curious again because he AND Ashley are saying the same thing we all have been saying. All we have seen is an argument between her and Tucker. So...WHAT HAPPENED between Tucker storming off and Ashley coming back to Geona City. Hmmm...?

I do love that we’re finally getting Ashley and the other characters questioning what else could’ve possibly happened in Paris, because the argument with Tucker was not traumatic. I was actually shocked this was getting addressed and is giving me hope again in the story which is truly my favorite on the show. 
 

So annoyed with Cole and Michael. Victor is actually completely right and justified in what he’s doing to Jordan.

Same. It is not my favorite story, but over everything else Ashley's story reign supreme. Eileen Davidson is giving a masterclass. She has great support in all the actors PB, BM especially, CC. And even TSJ has his moments when he shines in it. But again...the argument with Tucker was not that traumatic. So I really love they said that on-screen and have added this very angle. If it's a true doozy, I might take any complaint back about it and it might be my favorite story cuz...who knew? lol.

 

Totally on Victor. Given how the Jordan storyline has played out since this year started and how many times Jordan has escaped and has mentioned she WOULD...NOT...STOP...why is anyone side-eyeing Victor? He is actually justified for a chance cuz that woman is cray cray and has not even tried to redeem herself.

Like how many people does Jordan have to kill and how many times does she have to escape? The fact that Victor finally had her in such a way that the legal system couldn’t, worked for me. This woman has tried to kill them multiple times and has killed multiple people to get to them.

Man if they stick the landing with this Ashley story.

Someone today asked me if Esther is still a maid. I assume she isn't, but I have not watched Y&R very much in a number of years (and years). 

(I know Esther barely appears anyway)

Who lives in the Chancellor mansion now? Does anyone?

    • I’m hoping to start getting to know Vernon better this month. He’s really only been a bunch of noble and good tropes so far. I don’t want him to be taken down the way Ted has been, but it seems he was a long-running Senator and no matter what party you are, lasting longer than twenty years means you’re looking out for you (and not who you’re supposed to be looking out for) most of all. I want to get to know both Vernon and Anita beyond their Dupree posturing. Clifton Davis can sleepwalk handling the kind of material Christopher Bernau and David Lewis handled and I’d like to see more than just a saint.
    • I thought Emily/Hal was a really interesting pairing. And I think KMH played that version of Emily very well! It might not have been what people wanted from Emily, and the writing got pretty gross at the end, but I thought she embodied that character effectively.
    • Don't know if this exactly fits here, but it is connected: Does this abandoned building look familiar? It is one of those explorer videos - and the outside may look VERY familiar if one watched GH in the '70s and '80s!

    • So, I have been in the hospital all week. I am close to being up to date on my soaps. Now I have to go to the Infusion Ctr daily to get IV antibiotics, for 6 weeks. I am frankly exhausted. A hospital is no place to be when you're sick. Hooked up to machines that go beep beep beep all day & night long. Someone wakes you up every hour on the hour for something, either to stick you with needles or to take your gosh-awful blood pressure for the umpteenth time. So, you don't get any sleep. Now I have a central line, upper right chest. After they "installed" it, I said, I am now Borg. They just stared at me. Apparently scifi is not general knowledge. What happened? I have an infection inside my big toe right foot & it burned the skin on my foot. The burned skin is already better. It was like a bad sunburn. The infection inside the toe is the issue. Oral antibiotics won't even get its attention. So, IV antibiotics plus time.

        As Salem bids farewell to John Black on Monday, the "Days" family and fans say a final goodbye to Drake Hogestyn.   From his time as a young man playing baseball in the minor leagues for the New York Yankees to his almost four-decade run as John Black, Drake always did his best. And, while becoming a soap opera icon, he spent almost 40 years at "Days" telling the best stories and taking the younger cast under his wing to make sure they would do their best as well. Thank you, Drake, for the legacy you have left for everyone at "Days." The impact you made on the cast, crew and fans will never be forgotten...and that's a fact.
    • I found an interview with Joseph Breen (Will Jeffries) where he mentions that Reva was put in a coma so Zimmer could go to Hollywood to do a pilot (OMG, if ONLY it had been picked up, LOL) and that Sonni and Josh and Will became a popular with the audience while she was out of commission.  If you want to read the whole thing: https://www.authorsden.com/visit/viewarticle.asp?id=47394 Breen was known for being very candid in interviews, I wish I could find more of them. I seem to recall he made a couple of snarky comments about Zimmer, implying she was not above acting like a diva. Sounded to me like he had a lot of respect for Forbes (who went on to have a very strong and varied career after GL). 
    • I was so confused why Devon was prying into Nicks love life and then it clicked and I remembered they’re brother-in-laws. Shows how little I pay attention to this show anymore. I was like uh? Do these two even know each other this well?     
    • The Bell soaps, B&B and Y&R: cannot watch. If I went by the last time I did I would have to give them both D- but I really don't think it counts when you're not a daily watcher.  DAYS: B+ (Now this is with the knowledge that for years I have given this show a D- because I've been a fan for too long to give it the F it deserved.) GH: A+ (With Korte driving this bus to me the show is so much better! IMO we just had the best NB in so many years I cannot count!) BTG: A solid (Things I love, a few I do not, nothing I hate, still find it in general remarkable.) As always, thanks for doing this thread. I count it. I always look for it & I always post. 
    • Okay, I continue to maintain that what is so good about this particular reveal followed by umbrella storyline is that you can see & understand many different points of view where there is not one bad guy or one 100% right person.  About your stated opinion, that Lois & Gloria did the right thing, you know that this was technically an illegal adoption? For it to have been legal the father, if known, would have to have been informed & have signed off on terminating his own paternal rights. And, of course, it is clear how many people they lied to.  Personally I feel like Lois is going to take the biggest "public" blame with Lulu a close second in the blame category. I am looking forward to a tongue lashing I hope Brook Lynn gives to Gloria. I continue to be more than annoyed with Dante. First his attitude toward Gio with regards to Rocco & a drinking game & its results. Second his attitude toward Lulu. Meanwhile enjoying the show every day!
    • Lois and Gloria did the right thing I feel knowing it was Camila that raised Gio has BL feeling some jealousy No one is saying that Camila was a bad mother to Gio I believe it will be Gio saying that Camila was great to him, thanking Lois and Gloria to get BL to see truth
